It's here, it's here! Hello Petal by Aneela Hoey is in the house. Despite the unbearable and oppressive heat that was last week, the postie delivered. It was one of the few highlights for the week. Summer you are not my friend.

Hello Petal - Kitty Cats

I adore Aneela's design style and color palette but particularly love the addition of some of the darker colors - the medium blues which are usually so hard to find - which are part of this collection. Pictured above are the Kitty Cats and although I am not a huge cat lover they are my favorite print. Available in 5 colorways - these are going to be a big hit. And there is more ...

Hello Petal - Hopscotch

Hello Petal - Jump Rope

Hello Petal - Handstands

How cute are these designs? They're fun and girly and do take me right back to my own childhood and that of my children. I imagine these fabrics will make many little - and not so little - girls very happy. And every great collection needs a range of coordinating basics (note again the wonderful medium blues, as well as purple dot on a dark background - they are so good!):

I only ordered a charm pack. I'm sure that is not going to be enough. BTW, I just finished my first-sewn machine binding using your tutorial. Went better than I expected. I will definitely use it again!

These fabrics are all great. My little granddaughter would love the cats and grandma would like the florals. I also wouldn't mind a little of that heat. The cold has been truly numbing and the ice/ snow getting tiresome.
